I paid 400, included intake, accessories, and other pieces like the starter.

Sounds like a neat swap idea. Love the LS7 personally. If it were a swap I was working on I would try to get everything associated with that motor. Especially for the dry sump, since you may be able...

Yes they are very different transmissions, but I don't think one was better than the other as far as shift quality. They all shift like trucks lol.
Good deal on the 4L80E, always nice to start with...

In my experience they only "feel" heavy when you're installing them. The NV4500 is a pretty popular choice to put behind a 6.0L. If you have an NV3500 now, you may not notice a difference in shifting.

Got my steering shaft today, and it didn't go as planned. :LOL: I found a way to make it work anyways, just had to take a little more involved approach.
The u-joint for the steering box fit, but...

Lots of people use dirty dingo mounts, I used kds and thought they were great. http://kds-performance.com/sbc/
I would use the factory intake since you aren't wandering too far from stock. I like...

I got tired of my sloppy steering and tore apart the steering shaft. Originally I was going to install a U-joint on the stock shaft like described in this article...

Ok so the truck has been running for about a month now, but I've finally got around to making a short sound video. Muffler has been ordered, for now it's straight piped....

Ok, well if you want to go ahead with the 03 hydraulics and the matching clutch/flywheel I don't see a problem there. You could probably keep your current clutch really.

Dowel pins are easily...

This site has been helpful to me for doing a conversion, especially because it's platform specific. For a lot of stuff I go to ls1tech because there's a lot more support for carbs, there's more...

Last I checked they are still available at http://kds-performance.com/sbc/ I ordered some a few months ago and they fit great.

Ended up with just a generic fuel filter with 3/8 hose nipples on the ends. Had to drop the tank again and replace the sending unit because the metal return line was leaking. Fixed a bad connection...

Been a while since I had an update, but it's not that things aren't getting done. I've mounted the ignition box in the location of the stock ecm. Put in a couple Auto Meter gauges to replace the...

If I read that right the wires you described as normally on the larger post supply power for a bunch of stuff. Is there a reason you can't connect them? If not, hook them up and give it a shot. If...

Can't wait to see this one. What intake and carb are you using?

I have some parts coming in next week. Last night I went to the local dirt track to watch a sprint car race, and as I'm taking this season off to fund my flight instruction that was kinda tough. I'm...

I have heard of this before. We had a Suburban come into the shop (5.3L) with a lifter tick, that a BG engine flush cleared up. Another time we had a +07 Silverado come in with the same noise. The...

Yep, turns out that's what it was. Got a new pump, put it in the tank and ran a circuit through it. Worked fine.

So I was cleaning up some wiring today, making sure everything works, and I found my fuel pump is inop. (89 K1500)
I have power going to the relay, so I jumped it. Nothing. Measured 12V with my DMM,...

Mine is pretty easy. Last name + number I race with.

Bit of an update, got the alternator so I could finally put a belt on. Also got some cleaning done, as some mice made a nest out of some old receipts and insurance cards. They must have enjoyed the...

I would love to see that project.

On the plus side, being picky can keep you from making some expensive mistakes. You aren't working flat rate to my knowledge, so take your time.

The ZF6 would be a great trans for towing. I can't imagine how much work it would be to mate to a LS though.

Personally I prefer a manual, but the 4L80E seems to be a really popular choice around here, especially behind a 6.0L with lots of torque. It's a durable transmission and it's not terribly hard to...
